Beyond Breathing is the story of a mother’s loss of her 13 year old daughter, Jena, to Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease. The journey takes you from unfathomable heartache to love and understanding of life’s realities.

Through the pages, we understand that life lessons come from the children, beauty of living, and the power of love.

In the span of one year, Margarete learned to go from depression and dependency to inner strength and the realization that love never ends and that there are no coincidences. She now knows that sometimes the most important thing you can do is to just be there and that breathing isn’t always easy.

Margarete hopes to reach a place in her life where she is beyond just breathing.
